The big challenge for crossing any modern chasm is rarely technology or tools. The challenge is entrenched mind-sets. For all of us, the biggest challenge to changing the strategy will be to evolve our mind-set to think 2.0.

ideas pre-establecidas/ fijas


Explanation:
La primera vez que aparece "mind-set" en "entrenched mind-sets" lo traduciría como "ideas o puntos de vista fijos, preestablecidos". La segunda vez que aparece usaría el término "mentalidad".

Espero que ayude.

En esta página hay más acepciones de "entrenched" que pueden dar ideas.

es cambiar/modificar las estructuras de pensamiento arraigadas


Explanation:
El desafío consiste en cambiar/modificar/vencer/superar las estructuras de pensamiento arraigadas.

Creo que en español suena más natural si agregamos un verbo para expandir la idea.
